The Design

About Strings Freizeitstuhl

Strings ist ein Freizeitstuhl aus gebogenem Metallrohr. Die Gestaltung ist von Musiksaiten inspiriert: Die linienförmigen Rohre treffen auf die ringförmige Außenkontur, sodass die Form einen Anfang und ein Ende besitzt. Das Hauptmaterial ist Edelstahl 304, der hart und korrosionsbeständig ist, weshalb sich der Stuhl auch für den Außenbereich eignet. Der Rahmen wird durch Zuschneiden, Biegen, Erwärmen, Strecken, Schweißen und Polieren geformt. Die Kurven folgen der Sitzhaltung des Körpers. Der Stuhl eignet sich zum Lesen, Teetrinken und Ausruhen.
